Horseshoeinr as a science.

The majority of people believe that it re-
euires but little skill TO shoe horse l. is
a task, they think, for which an ordinary
blacksmith is competent. This is far from
being true. Many fine animal has been
seriously injured by being placed in the
hands of botch. A reporter learned many
interesting details upon the subject from
James O'Neill, the successor of the late Dan
Mace.
T" Mace" said Mr.. ONeill, twas the most
skillful sheer of horses in the world. His
establishment gained reputation all over
the &C untry. He approached the matter in
strictly scientific manner. | was with
him for many years, and can thank him
for much of my knowledge. When he
died he left me his horses and his business.
The value of horse is mainly dependent
upon the soundness of his feet He may
be perfect in every other respect, but if he
has bad foot no intelligent horseman
would want him. You can see. therefore,
how important it is that his shoes fit. If
they are too small they will cramp and
pinch his feet. and may eventually make
him lame For this reason all fine ami
mails should be carefully fitted with hand
made shoes. There are some large facto-
ries in this country that turn out thousands
of horseshoes every day. These may do
well enough for the ordinary working
horses, but the man who would place such
shoes upon the feet of we'll bred roadster
would be insane.
Allowances have to be made for exces-
siye heat and cold, which expands or con-
tracts the metal. We have TO make allow
ances also for the nature of the animal.
He may have peculiar manner OF step
ping, which can be remedied by changing
the weight of his shoes. To illustrate to
you how important a consideration this is,
have only to tell you that it is possible
to change g PAGER into trotter by increas-
ing the weight upon his forefeet. This las
often been done. a horse cannot pace
with heavy lore-shoes. They have a tend
ency to make him take longer steps and
throw his feet out straight forward. FIRE.
quently veterinary surgeons have TO ask
my advice A horse may be lame and they
cannot ascertain the cause. Often ii is be-
cause he is improperly shod. Horses are
subject also TO corns, the same as human
beings. Sometimes we pare them until
they gradually disappear. We also burn
them out. "-Neso York Mad ana Express.

ALONE.


Alone, with LIES shadows around me;
Alone, in the gloom of the night,
] sit in my loneliness dreaming
OF pleasures long hidden from sight;
And sigh for the days of my childhood.
For those bright, cherished years that are
gone,
Those years that brought sweet, joyous glad
ness,
Intermingled with laughter and song.
Alone in the shacowy cleaning,
When all nature is silent and STILL
Bright thoughts OF the past come to cheer me,
And my heart with sweet ecstacy fill.
In vision see the old homestead
With its walls so gloomy and gray
But the light of the morning recalls me
And the vision fades quickly away.
Alone, all alone DER life's pathway,
! tread with faltering feet;
For the way is dark and dreary,
While fear in my soul doth creep,
Lest make mistake in the turning,
Which leads to that Land pure and fair,
Where the loved ones Of childhood are waiting
To joyously welcome me there

A SHARP REroRT.-The following story,
although not local, is too good to drop into
oblivion, and the SGnqterer, to whom it was
told, gives it circulation In Vermont
County Court an unpromising- looking wit
ness was being badgered by clean-cut law
yer, who stands high in his profession, and
who. although well advanced in years and
completely bald, prides himself upon his
youthful appearance and personal pres
ence. The point aimed at was to determine
which of two barns. one of which was de-
stroyed by fire, was covered by insurance,
and the method of the witness in distin-
gushing them as the old and the new
barn, caused the lawyer to branch out in q
series of confusing questions winding up
with, q What is the age of the one you de-
fine as the old barn, and what are the
distinguishing marks that attests its age ~

tina lawyer straight in the eye, " the old

TRANSATLANTIC OF SKIw.-Ahout three
months ago a son of Colonel John G..
Winter, aged about 10 years. of Waco,
Tex, was very seriously burned, losing all
the skin on the back from the top of his
shoulder blades down to the hips, and even
part of his thighs were burned. He has
been under treatment of the most skillfnl
physicians here since. The little hero has
suffered ten thousand deaths, and this
morning the physicians in attendance con-
cluded to try the transplanting of skin
to about eight inches square of the burned
surface, which had so far failed 10 heal.
Colonel Winter submitted his arm from
whence the cuticle was quickly removed,
and very soon the denuded surface on the
boys body was covered with his fathers
skin. The operation is remarkable, as this
is the largest surface yet covered by such
means, of which the books speak After
the operation was concluded the little suf-
ferer said to bis father: Papa, hereafter
when you lick me you must not put much
force into the stick, because, sir, you see
you viii be catching it as well as myself
The physician who performed the operation
says he does not know which to admire
the most, the perfect sangfroid of the boy
or the steady, loving endurance of the
father. Colonel Winter is the Master in
Chancery Of the Houston and Texas Cen
trail Railroad, and an eminent lawyer of
Waco.

SHE WAS cOMEDOOi o aOAhhh.
The woman was old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill of winters day:
The street as wet with the winters snow,
And the woman's feet were aged and slow.
She stood at the crossing and waited long,
Alone uncared for amid the throng
Of human beings who passed her by,
Nor needed the glance Of her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad in the freedom of school let out,
Came the boys like q flock of sheep.
Hailing the snow, piled white and deep.
Past the old woman, so old and gray,
fastened the children on their way,
Nor offered helping hand to her,
So meek SO timid, afraid to stir,
Lest the carriage wheels or horses feet
Should crowd her down in the slippery street.
At last came one of the merry troop,
The gayest laddie of all the group.
He paused beside her, and whispered low:
sPll help you across if you wish to GO"
Her aged hand on his strong young arm
She placed, and without hurt or harm
He guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were firm and strong.
Then back again to his friends he went,
His young heart happy and well content.
" She's somebody's mother, boys, you know,
For all she's old and poor and slow;
"And hope some fellow will lend hand
To help my mother you understand,
'tIf ever she's old and poor and gray,
When her own dear boy is far away"
And somebody's mother" bowed low her heaC
IN her home that night, and the prayer she sale
Was, God, be kind to the noble boy
Who is somebody's con and pride and joy"

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from pro-
prietary medicines, no doubt has largely
benefited the consumers, as well as reliev-
ing the burden of home manufacturers.
Especially is this the case with Green's Aa-
gust Flotocr and Bosciee'S GermG, Syrup, as
the reduction Of thirty six cents per dozen
has been added to increase the size of the
bottles containing these remedies, thereby
giving one-fifth more medicine in the 10
cent size. The August Flower for Dyspepsia
and Liver Complaint, and the German
Syrup tor Cough and Lung troubles, have
perhaps the largest sale of any medicines
in the world. The advantage OF increased
size of the bottles will be greatly appreci-
ated by the sick and afflicted in every town
